Sam Faiers to quit TOWIE?

Sam Faiers fears she may have to quit 'The Only Way is Essex' because she has "done everything" she can on the show

Sam Faiers may quit 'The Only Way is Essex' because she has run out of storylines.

The blonde star - who has opened her own shop and dated both Mark Wright and Joey Essex on the show - is unsure if there is much more she can do and may leave the ITV2 series at some point in the near future.

Asked if she planned on staying, she said: "I haven't decided yet. I've done five series so there will come a time when I leave.

"I don't want to be there with no new storylines because I've already done everything I can do."

Sam is one of the only cast members from the first series of the show - alongside James 'Arg' Argent, Lydia Bright and Lauren Goodger - to have made it through to the current line-up.

The 21-year-old star previously hit out at new characters - including Georgina Dorsett, Ricky Rayment and Cara Kilbey - for having "taken over" the show following the split between James and Lydia.

She said: "It was a bit stressful. It was OK, but the break-ups and the tears took over a bit. As did the new characters.

"But I think the new series is going to be a big one for all the original cast - they are the ones everyone wants to see."
